<p>My daughter was expelled from her private h.s. two weeks before graduation for a substance abuse issue (failed drug test).</p>
<p>She had already been accepted to the college of her choice prior to the offense, so there was no event that forced us to disclose this information. However, we could have, and chose not to. The college found out anyway.</p>
<p>Luckily, we had taken her situation very seriously, as indication of a possible substance dependency problem, and throughout the summer prior to college we tried to work through it.</p>
<p>When my d. entered college, the dean of admissions wanted to hear the whole story, including what she had done to address the problem. He made the decision to allow her to enter, and she was able to continue on with her college as planned, but it was a very close call.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how much of this fits your situation, jjsamson92. I hope there is something you find useful.</p>
